[WP] You come upon a derelict ship that has no recognizable ship identifiers, and seems to be decades abandoned. The crew appears to have vanished in the middle of what they were doing, yet somehow every bulkhead is welded shut, the power is still humming, and you hear odd noises over the intercom.	17
[WP] This morning you fell into an open manhole, knocked yourself out, and you woke up in a strange world of aggressive mushrooms, flying turtles, and some little weirdo demanding you rescue his royal boss. He hands you a flower, with the same awe you might show a dangerous weapon.	16
[WP] Scientists have figured out how to transport matter between universes. However, universes don't really have laws to govern the introduction of alien matter, so any imported matter always behaves a little... magically.	16
[WP] You've just been given a job offer by the Grim Reaper. To make your bones, you gotta reap the one person you really admire.	14
[WP] Magic strongly exists, but is so omnipresent that humans tune it out like a strong odor. The older we get, the more inured we become, and the better we ignore it. However, briefly dying and returning to life resets our tolerance. You've just been brought back.	14
[WP] Nobody has ever descended this deeply into the dungeon without dying or fleeing. Your party is doing well. Too bad that nobody brought rope.	14
[WP] Your boss summoned a demon because he's too cowardly to fire you himself, so you summoned one as well, and now it's a standoff in the office.	14
[WP] As you're care-taking the small park in the tiny town where you live, you're greeted warmly by name by a stranger who strolls out of the woods. You know everyone in this town, and eventually it dawns on you: this is someone that went missing decades ago. But somehow, they haven't aged a day.	13
[WP] At last, an alien race steps forward to bring Humanity out into the cosmos. We learn that the reason that every other species was wary of extending star travel to us is because we possess from birth the one thing it takes all other species most of their life-span to learn: imagination.	13
[WP] Before you, every human ambassador to Faer, the Realm of the Fae Folk, has lasted about a week before they were assassinated. You, however, have been on the job for decades, and have survived countless plots against your life. Your secret? You're not actually a human.	13
